Yes, it's from Cracked. Yes, it's got naughty words in it. But so what? It's absolutely....awesome. It's everything wrong with how politics are covered in the media, and by extension, how politics is run since it's all a show for the media.

Cracked has provided more accurate political information than most other outlets for a while now. It is only a mater of time untill the onion becomes more trustworthy than so called news providers.
There is definitely a lot of truth to it.

I'll just add this to it:
Story uses Hitler comparison.
Uses word "Draconian."

There's an old rule about headlines ending in a question mark - if the headline asks a question, the answer is always "no!"
Also, this article has one of the greatest sentences ever written: "Obama Refuses to Denounce Kanye West Tweet Calling Romney a Voltron Made of Butts"

Yeah, Cracked is awesome. Been reading it regularly, very funny.
Good article, it really does highlight the bs with politics and people who are so absorbed by them ( you know who you are!).

I started paying attention when it said:
"Ron Paul's Covert Sex Commandos?"
Then I realized it just meant the Golden Girls... :har:
And I think 2 of them are dead now....
Does this mean that Ron Paul is supporting that non-existent muslim dead sex law thing? :hmmm:

This deserves a bump. Some people here should read the linked article. Maybe open up the horse blinders a little bit.
